Samuel
Kaufman
of' Newark,
representing a minority group of
stockholders, contended that when the chancery decree was tfled neither
the court nor the stockholders as a whole'knew that the company
had paid about $520,000 to Richard Reid Rogers of New York, one
of the complaining stockholders,
and had paid. Henry F. Holthusen,
counsel for another group of stockholders, $70,000 at the same time.
It was not until six years later,, in 1-939, Mr. Kaufman contended,
that the public learned of these payments through court proceedings,
which he said were an outgrowth of the prosecution and conviction
of former Judge Martin T. Mamon of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals on a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice.
United States Attorney John T. Cahill, charged at the same time
that Attorney Louis S. Levy, later disbarred from Federal Courts, find
his former associate, Paul M. Halm, had concealed a, loan of $2?0;P90,

plan of reorgani¬

Aug. 23
1943, as amended Nov. 10, 1943.
The amended plan, to¬
gether with amendments thereto suggested by other parties, was re¬
ferred to the Commission by order of the Court dated Nov. 18, 1943, for
examination and report pursuant to the provisions of Chapter X of the
Bankruptcy .Act. • :

It is the conclusion of the Commission that the plan proposed by the
trustee' as amended is feasible within the applicable statutory and
judicial standards, and that it is fair within such standards provided
the second mortgagees'
interest is treated substantially as recom¬
mended in the report.
It is also the conclusion of the Commission that
the amendments suggested by other
parties should net be approved,
with the exception oi certain features of some of the amendments, the
approval of which is recommended.

Chairman, in connection with the

The increased payment does not reflect any important change in
the
basic trend of corporation earnings,
either currently or as to
the immediate future; but is solely a matter of. financial policy.
Over the past three years, reserves to cover the cost of reconversion
following the war have been accrued since such costs must be con¬
sidered an essential charge against earnings during the war.
Such
reserves as of Dec,
31, 1943, reached an aggregate of approximately
$75,000,000, equivalent to $1.70 per share.

Some of the contracts ;

The prior fiscal year ending Oct. 31,
1942, has been renegotiated
by the Navy Price Adjustment Board in Washington.'
At a hearing
on
Nov. 19,

the sum of $250,000 on the renegotiate part of its business for the

Taking into account a credit for the
Federal income and excess profits taxes assessed and paid on this
amount, this will require a return to the Government of about $55,000,
and a reserve for this has been set up.

year it retired $2,259,000 of its first mortgage
it retired $6,232,700 of such bonds, a total of
deduction of more than 13% In mortgage debt in a
period of 15 months.
In the same period its equipment obligations
were reduced in the net amount of
$1,160,352, or a total reduction in
indebtedness of $.9,652,052 in that period.
This
debt reduction was accomplished at a cost of $7,943,519,
of
which all but $69,925 was obtained from the applicant's treasury cash.;
This amount is in excess of the applicant actual net income for 1942
plus its estimated net income for 1943.
No dividends were paid on
any of the applicant's outstahding stock during that period.
It is to the advantage of the applicant to use its available funds
for the purpose
of retiring its mortgage debt rather than to apply
them to the outright purchase of equipment.
The mortgage debt bears
interest at rates of 4%, 4% %/ftnd 5%
per annum, while the pro¬
posed trust certificates have been sold at an interest cost of 2.29%.
This reduction in the applicant's debt, through, the use of its income
and the obtaining of the new money at a favorable cost, in our opinion
warrants the granting of the authority sought.

The original plan was

plan which have been awarded to other creditors under the new pro¬
posal submitted by the three committees.
The plan filed Feb. 1 provides for a total capitalization of $247 838,808.

capital for this work being
readily available through Regulation V loans. These loans,
guaranteed by the Federal Reserve Banks, usually have
short term maturities and carry low interest rates.
Sev¬
eral corporations have availed themselves of this means
of raising money instead of resorting to the usual chan¬
nels, that is the sale of stocks and bonds, which ulti¬
mately find their way to the Stock Exchange.
A feature of the year was the listing of $90,000,000 of
bonds of the Canadian Government, which were floated
for refunding existing indebtedness. '
Listing of railroad securities showed a perceptible
falling off from the previous year.
This was due in no
small measure to the absence of the reorganization of
any railroads as was the case in 1942.
Listing of utility
bonds showed a huge decline compared with 1942 and
prior years.
This, no doubt, was due to the impact of
wartime restrictions on expansion programs, resulting
